# Localize 2026: The Power Of Love

**Hosted by:** LOCALIZE FESTIVAL

**Type:** Festival/fair | **Location:** Berlin, Germany | **Deadline:** May 5, 2026

## About This Program

> "The Power of Love — love as political practice, urban transformation, power/hierarchy, equality"

Open call for artists, cultural workers, creators, and experimenters for a two-day festival exploring 'The Power of Love' at the former state parliament ('Kreml') on Brauhausberg. The site is transitioning from a century-long seat of political power to an open campus. Seeks works that engage with the site's history and its transformation toward equality and encounter — questioning power, hierarchy, and love as political practice. Interior spaces are accessible only via guided tours with limited exhibition use; outdoor spaces and the façade are explicitly encouraged. An optional site visit for interested artists is planned for end of April.
